looking for the cheapest place to get a Z63A w/ a DVD burner. i was going to get a NEC ND-6650 seperately, but i heard some people having trouble getting it to fit/match perfectly, so i'm looking for a barebones Z63A that has the Asus model included. or an Asus Dual Layer drive seperately. thanx

$118 wouldnt be bad (compared to the ~$127 other places r charging to ADD it to their overpriced systems), but i was hoping to spend ~$85 (NEC ND-6650).

do you know the price for the single layer DVD drive? does this even exist? I came across this link over the weekend: http://www.axiontech.com/directprdt.php?item=D13698 and i emailed & called about it. the guy on the phone said it does come w/ the DVD writer, but i forgot to to ask if its dual layer. the guy who responded to my email said thats its a single layer, so im starting to wonder if i should cancel the order. it'll be about $50 extra for dual layer capabilities and i'm not sure thats worth it. its 630 + shipping, assuming it does come w/ a single layer DVD writer, thats a good deal right?

yeah that's a pretty good deal. I just have a DVD-ROM/CD-RW in my notebook as i use my desktop for burning DVD's.

*sigh* guess what? i just got a call from AxionTech saying that the Z63A i brought does not come w/ a DVD writer. :( apparently the link or description or whatever is directly from the manufacturer, so they can not take DVD-RW out of the description. kinda sucks, but at least they called and let me cancel my order.
